A Long Island man pleaded guilty Thursday to owing child support in excess of $1.2 million.

Authorities call him the “world’s number one deadbeat parent” as the amount covers two child support orders and includes multiple penalties and interest charges.

The money is for three children from two different marriages.

Robert Sand has not paid the child support in ten years.

After the amount got to be too much, Sand attempted to flee. First, he went to Florida. Then, he went to Thailand. But his journey came to an end when he was deported.

When Sand left Thailand, he flew to the Philippines. It was in the Philippines where authorities arrested him for lacking proper identification. They sent him to Los Angeles, where federal marshals arrested him and extradited him to New York, where he has been since December.

“He had enough and wanted to come back and have the opportunity to make it right,” his attorney, Glenn Obedin, said.

He now faces four years in prison.

“Neither court orders nor the familial bond meant anything to him as he fled to avoid his obligations,” US Attorney Loretta Lynch said.

The mothers were not in court at the time of his proceeding, but told Sand’s lawyer that they want him to be free so he can earn a living and repay his debt. His plea agreement states he is required to make full restitution, and Sand has waived his right to appeal the guilty plea.

Sand allegedly has a job waiting for him in car sales, as he used to work as a car salesman.

His mother has faith he can get back on his feet.

“I’m very glad he’s back in the [US]. He made a terrible mistake leaving the country. He’s not a bad guy, he just got caught up in that spider web of whatever the system is,” Sand’s mother said.

Me too, instead you should have been having a conversation about how you're going fuck me ;)

I basically said the same thing to Miss Cpl last night. I just don't want to beleive that there are real people out there like Robert. But unfortunately, there are. There's a lot of them actually. Still, I'll keep holding on to the slightest hope that it's just some bored dude who created the most moronic online persona he could imagine simply to see how many people he can annoy.

Well, if truth be told, I also emailed him a suggestion a few weeks ago. I figured that he takes enough abuse in the fora, that perhaps I can reach him privately and see if I can help him somehow...I heard nothing but crickets since!

"Pay attention, how Robert is pretending not to see my post"

Apparently the best way to get rid of Robert is to post job vacancies. 2 days since you posted it, no reply.

p.s. neither position requires experience or education, they state so very clearly :).

Mr.T.

I posted two of them as an example. They are both near Robert. Both paying what appears to be close to 50K (or maybe one of them, the other one lists benefits and the fact that they'll pay for school too!). Pay attention, how Robert is pretending not to see my post ;).
